Jersey Fresh

Farmer Ronny Lee, of Lee Turkey Farm in East Windsor, New Jersey, holds a flat of broccoli seedlings he has grown in his home-made incubators (on the ground on either side), which serve the same purpose as a greenhouse for much less expense, he says. The past month's precipitation has delayed planting in the fields this year. But soon, these seedlings will be spread throughout the fields and produce good yields. Keep your eyes peeled. Now it can be revealed. The farmer is well-heeled. I'm standing just inside a fence so to get it all in I took two photos and stitched them together. Think global if you want to, but eat local.
